. >> paul ryan gets rit of capital gains in his first budget. >> mitt romney doesn't. his focus is on lowering income tax rates which a lot of small businesses pay and lowering the deductions or limiting the itemized deductions. >> let me grant you the maximal amount of good faith to mitt romney for a second. let me say that he really is committed to revenue neutrality. he is committed to not reducing taxes on the highest income. i don't believe that but let's grant it for the moment. he said this thing at the debate which i thought was right. none of this is passed by the president himself. you have a dialogue with the legislature. you just cannot credibly tell me sitting at this table that a tax bill that comes out of this house republican caucus, they'll let a bill get out of that house without cuts for the top, elimination of the estate tax which is explicitly advocated by the romney campaign, all sorts of other ways in which taxes can be reduced at the top. it's what they're committed to ideologically. it's what their record is doing. i can't see it be the case. >

i do understand what paul ryan is trying to say. the problem is, people like me can't go on and explain what they are doing. as richard said, they are going to have to get down to brass tax and specific. it's exhausting for republicans right now. i am at my wit's ends with this. i am hoping on wednesday governor romney will do this during the debate but this is the exact reason why we're losing and whether republicans like it or not, we're going to have to get things down to 140 characters and sound bites to put all over the media. this is the era we are living in and for whatever republicans and specifically this campaign continue to ignore that and it's just the realty of the times that we are losing in. >> so you are hoping that they can explain many of us are not there because they have not communicated. >> i think no matter how complex the issue is, which no one is saying this is an incredibly complex issue, they are going to have to narrow it down and make it digestible for average americans and they are not doing that right n

don't even go there, paul ryan. that straight to camera shot, you saw both campaigns come out with ads. president obama is a much better speaker. he's more direct and communicates warmth and honesty. from mitt romney it seems hollow. if i were the romney campaign, i would stay with the fix it thing. do everything short of coming out with mops and brooms and talk about the economy. whenever they try to play the genuine american attack, it never works for them. they fall flat and it always rings hollow. >> alex, richard, great to have you with us on "the ed show." >>> coming up, the obama campaign released a new ad hammering mitt romney for outsourcing jobs to a chinese company with sweat shop conditions during his time at bain capital. sherrod brown will be joining me on that and other issues. >>> and billionaires are getting antsy about the possibility of president obama's reelection. and they are starting to whine big time. stay tuned. you're watching "the ed show." >>> welcome back to "the ed show." thanks for wat

and i think will do very well in the debate along with paul ryan. but your column, talking about obama's off night. can you help us out here? we're trying to figure out what happened to president obama. where was he? >> where was he? that's the question. it was really, you know, you kind of watched the thing unfold and just wondered when it was -- when the debate was going to start, basically, because -- and when the president was going to, you know, become president obama again. all the stuff you guys said in the last segment is probably right about that performance. and it's not that unusual, if you look historically for an incumbent president to have a rough time out of the blocks on the debates. and they tend not to do very well in the first one. that was certainly true this year more than most years, i think. you know, look. on the plane coming back, i was with one of the president's most senior advisers who just, you know, said hey, what can i say? let's move on to the next one. he had a bad night and we'll have a better night next time. >> ok
